A New Fortidcations Bill.

Senator Dolph Of Oregon, has just in
produced in the Senate bill to provide
for Notifications and other sea coast
|defenses. 1t appropriates sl26, 377 800,
to be available as follows: e2l 500, 900
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1883,
| So, 000, 900 for each fiscal year thereafter
for period Of eleven year,, and 95,s77,
800 for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1901, which sums are to be expended in
accordance with the recommendation
made In the report of the Fortifications
B GARD in the construction Of Notifications
at the places named in that report. These
include all the most prominent ports on
the Atlantic, Pacific, Gulf and lake coasts.
The bill further provides that the float
hing batteries and torpedo bosts recon-
meded by said board shall be constructed
| by contract under the supervision of the
Secretary of the Navy, but that the plans
and specifications shall frst be approved
by a board of ten naval officers appointed
by the President. 1t is further provided
that the guns for the armament Of these
boats and batteries shall be fabricated II
the gun factory in Washington. 1t is d
grave mistake-more, 1t is national
shame, that the vast exposed coasts Of tho
United States have been left so long de-
fenseless. 1t is to be hoped that the
Republicans in Congress will be able tc
bring enough Democrats to their assist.

Senator Hale has acted wisely In takin,
the initial step to learn officially whethe
or not the President is living up to tn
Civil Service law. The committee of inves
ttigation which he proposes will probabl,
bring few new facts to light, even If it i
ordered, but it will marshal the testimon,
against the President in such authenti
shape and form that it will perhap
carry more weight than the frequen
newspaper exposure Of the President

pensions. Full daylight will disclose t,

Tariff. are beginning to hedge, and are
.rrInu to show that the Republicans In
1874 committed themselves TO reduction
NJ the revenues. But this attempt u
mIsrepresent the past opinions OF the
party which created and sustained the
American system for fostering manufac-
lures and promoting the interests OF Ameri'
car labor, will utterly fail The Republi-
cans were and are in favor OF bringing the
revenues OF the government to conform
To the necessities Of the country; bu'
they would make reduction without
weakening or impairing the Protective
force Of the Tariff, while Cleveland and
the great majority Of the Democrats wish
10 change the Tariff and reduce the
aggregate revenues regardless Of the princi-
pal and advantages Of Protection. Thus
the distinction between the views OF
President Cleveland and the Democrats
and those Of Mr.. Blaine ana the fepuoii'
cans ia very broad and emphatic. What

Two Pennsylvania women nave brought
suit against the United States 10 recover
four million dollars, the accumulated prin-
cipal and interest of half a million francs
lent by an ancestor of theirs to the colonial
government ITO years ago, with which to
pay their troops. During the first admin
istration of President Washington the
claim was allowed, but there being no
treasury surplus at that time, the original
claimant never received a cent. As the
Reid heirs were more than fifty wears in
securing payment for the loss of the pri
Sateer Gen. Armstrong in 1915, it is
evident that these ladies, whose demands
70 back a generation farther, have com.
menced proceedings of which they are not
likely to live long enough to see the
